17o all'tvhom it may concern:

it knownthat L-FRANCISCO Giosnrrn asubject otthe King of Italy, andresident of 329 Cangallo, in the city of Buenos .Ayres, Argentina, haveinvented certain 'new and useful Improvements in I PumpfOperatingMechanism, of which the convenient shape,

I coupling sleeve 6 shaft 4, of cylindrical fOllOWlIlgiS aspecification.I

, The present 'nvention relates to a novel and simple apparatus foreffecting the intermediary Working of single cylinder pumps, and whichis particularly adapted for use in connection'with wind mills for thepurpose of permitting the extraction of Water by means of the ump of thesame when they are not going, y employing other mechanical or anyothersourc'e ofpower. I

For the better understanding of the invention I, shall now proceed todescribe the same making reference tothe accompany-.

111g drawings which show an embodiment of the device, and wherein-Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of the same. 1 1 indicates ai-baseplate-ofmetal, of any and 2'and 3 are the beare ings, fixed by means ofscrews to said base plate 1, for supporting Itl'he horizontal rotary s ae. 5 is a disk keyed upon dhe end of the'axle 4, andon the op oslte endof this latter,- a

as been provided. 7 indicates an eccentrical stud, securely, fixed tothe disk 5 by means of a pin, nut andcounter nut, vor in .any otherconvenient manner. I

. 8 is a pipe of galvanized iron or other adeuate material which servesas supporting rams for the device, While forming at the same time partof the suction pipe 'of-the pump .to which it has been. attached.

9 is a flanged collar by means ofwhich the supporting pipe 8 and thebase plate 1 are so connected together, that the latter will bemaintained in a perpendicular ositionwith regard, to the former, the coar 9' being clamped around said pipe 8 by means ofa' screw bolt andnuts, as shown, or in any other way. v I

10 and 11 show suitablys'haped brackets, secured in place around thepipe 8'by means of collars or other clamping devices, as will be shownin the drawings. 7 I

12. is the head of the a paratus, screwed on to the upperend of tliesupport 8, and

generally arranged. as shown in the drawings.

---sliding piece 22-is rod 24, to another .rod 26, which sliding 13 is ametallic rod which fdes'c'e'rr'ds' inside the supporting pipe 8 and-is"connected-to thepiston rod of the pump, and 1 4 and i5 show jointingpieces of the ro"d fl 3.

- 16 'is't e stuffing-hereof the rod 13 and 17 indicates theconnectingrrodor plate by whiclithe'rod 13 is'eonneet d tothe dritingrod of thewind milks "aid rod being" guided by the guide plate 18. "Thislatter plate is supported by means of tli'e rod 28.

19 is a'con'nectionhole by which the rod driuing mechanism (seei 'ig. 2)by means of the Pin 20. 2 if "the disk 5 to' the sliding piece'22,mounted on the guide rod 23. I On the other hand, said connected bythe/driving sliding f iecei or collar 25, guided onthe rod' 26, saisliding iece .25 being-fixed at its other end'to the rod 'l l and the,guide rod 26'is reinforced by "the rod 28,-

'moun'tedon the oppositesi'clethereof.

32 and 83 are tubular connections,"forming outlets for the'wat-erelevated by the pump to which the device is applied;

34 is the transmission rod of the windmill and35is the connectionapplied to the en'clof therod 34.

rod of the auxiliary 7o 21 is the connecting rod,"which connects emotion,connected at'its lower e'nd'to a bracket'30andat 31, which 36shows the pipe by fwhich the Wateris led t0 the respective tank for"storage;

All these parts are substantially connected and arranged as shown in thedrawings, and

the working of the device takes place in the following movement of theaxle 4 and-in consequence of the disk 5, is t-ransmitted'through theconnecting rod 2] to' the sliding piece 22, which -w1ll execute avertical reciprocal movement on the guide rod 23, and suchmo ement' ismanner :The rotary continuous transmitted, by meansofthe-connectingrod=1 24 to the other sliding nected also to theconnectingbar 1 7 by the pin-20, will impart a reciprocat ng motion therod 13, which latter by working the pis' ton of the pump, will performthe extraction" through thepipe 36.,

piece 25 'on-theguide piece, 25, being con- The pump to which referencehas been made in the foregoing description, may be that of a windmillused for the extraction of water from a well, andin such case, by meansof my apparatus the pump may be made to work alternately by the windmotor, or by any different motor; an arrangement, however, whichconstitutes an essential feature of my invention, is the following:-When it is desired to operate the pump by wind power the pin (Fig. 1)is removed, therey disconnecting .he parts 17 and 25, and said pin isinserted through the openings 35 inthe part 35 and through a suitableregistering opening inthe part 17, (not shown) thereby connecting thepart 35 with the part 17. When placin the pin 20 in the position shownin Fig. 1, t e rod 34 of the windmill is disconnected from the rod 13,and the 201 sliding piece of the apparatus is connected to the iston rod13 of the pump, which may then be made to work by means of animal power,for by any ,mechanical' motor driving the axle 430i the apparatus.

A further essential feature of my invention consists in the fact that,in spite of the variable resistance inherent to the working of singlecylinder single acting pumps, such as are generally used in connectionwith wind mills, their working is rendered perfectly smooth and uniform,owingto the efficient action of the balancing spring 29, which, by

stretching itself when the piston descends and contracting, on therising of the same, transforms the variablemotion of the piston into auniform one.

Having thus clearly described and ascer tained the nature of. my saidinvention and in what manner the sameis to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim 1s:-

1. Pump operating mechamsm comprising posed in said pipe, a branch forsaid guided y one of said brackets, a driving red cross head secured tothe upper end of said driving rod, means for removably securing saiddriving rod crosshead to said pump rod, and amill rod adapted forconnection with said pump rod. p l

2. Pump operating mechanism comprising in combination, a well pipe, apump rod disipe leading to a tank, a supporting base, a driven shaftmounted on said base and provided with a crank disk,a crank rod securedto said disk at one end, a crank rod cross head se cured to the oppositeend of said crank rod, a guide on which said cross head is'slidablymounted, a driving rod secured to said crank cross head, a driving rodcross head secured to the upper end of said drivingrod, means forremovably securing said driving red cross head to said pump head, and amill rod adapted for connection with said pump rod. In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presencc'of two witnesses.
